PREFACE. 

The following outline which has been used 
by the author for some time in the classroom 
is now printed in the belief that its usefulness 
can in this way be extended. The end in view 
in its preparation has been to present in their 
relations to each other all the events in our 
country's history which can profitably be stud- 
ied by the average class, and by this form of 
arrangement to make them much more intelli- 
gible to the pupil. 

In its preparation free use has been made of 
several histories, to which acknowledgment is 
due. On the subject of Exploration and Colo- 
nization, Barnes' has been especially service- 
able. On the Revolution and the Develop- 
ment of the United States, Johnston's has 
been the principal authority. On many points 
throughout the entire narrative Montgomery's 



has been found very useful. Mnny sugges- 
tions have also been received from other out- 
hnes of the same subject. Acknowledgment 
is especially due to one prepared by C. M. 
Lemon. If by the use of this outline anyone is 
led to a clearer comprehension of the course 
of events which has brought the United States 
to its present condition, the author will be 
amply repaid for its publication.

IHTEODUCTIOH, 

The old method of teaching history by as- 
signing a certain number of pages in the text 
book to be memorized, is, we are glad to be 
able to say, pretty generally a thing of the 
past, having been discarded by all progressive 
educators. The topical method has found 
favor because it is the method which devel- 
ops the student's individuality, and makes it 
possible for him to compare the views of differ- 
ent authors, thus doing away with the diffi- 
culty some teachers experience from diversity 
of text books. It is the best because it teaches 
the pupil to think and compare as well as to 
remember facts. When carried to its full de- 
velopment the topical method becomes the 
outline method, which combines with the ad- 
vantages possessed by the topical method 
many which it does not possess. 

The pupil in studying from a good outline is 
taught to think, not only by the comparison of 
authors he is enabled to make, but also by hav- 
ing prominently before his mind the relation 
of cause and effect. Events seen in their rela- 
tion to each other are much more interesting 
and instructive than when viewed simply in 
chronological order. History, instead of being 
the dry est study in the curriculum, as it too 
often is, ought to be, and, if properly studied 



-6— 



will be, the most fascinating. What can be 
more interesting than to watch with the eye of 
the anatomist the growth and expansion of a 
people when every event is seen, not as an is- 
olated fact, but simply as a part of a whole, as 
one of the factors whose product is a nation? 

By the use of a correct and full outline this 
is brought within the reach of every student 
of history. In preparing the lesson keep the 
outline constantly before you. If an event is 
given as a cause study it carefully to see just 
what influence it had on the subject in hand. 
If it is shown as a result look carefully for its 
causes and see if they are correctly given. 
Every relation which the outline shows should 
be carefully studied with two ends in view; to 
see if it is correct, and if it is, to fix it perma- 
nently in the mind. 

As an introduction to the general outline a 
preliminary outline is given which shows the 
great divisions into which the subject is ar- 
ranged. It should be carefully studied prepar- 
atory to taking up the subject in detail. - By 
this it will be seen that the history of the United 
States is treated under three great heads. In- 
troduction, Origin and Development. The "In- 
troduction" comprises that period when there 
was no United States, but during which ma- 
terials were being collected out of which it 
should be made. The "Origin" is the period 



and the circumstances which made a United 
States out of this collection of materials. This 
naturally divides itself into two parts, "British 
Oppression," the provocation which led the 
colonists to throw off the English yoke and or- 
ganize a government of their own, and "The 
Revolution," the movement by which this was 
accomplished. After the United States is 
fully formed there only remains to be consid- 
ered its "Development," and this comes under 
two heads, "The Confederation" and "The Con- 
stitution." The general outline which follows 
is simply a development in detail of these three 
different heads.
